craftgrrlI made this for a swap on Craftster and was really pleased with how it came out. :)
I used a combination of card stock and scrapbook paper. The card stock butterflies I folded to bring their wings up, as if in flight. Some of the scrapbook ones I doubled, putting one directly on top of another to give it a 3D effect. Because of the depth of the shadowbox frame, there’s plenty of room for them to “flutter” their wings.
It’s a fun take on a traditional specimen or botanical print. No butterflies are harmed in the making of this one!
